I Love watching election coverage!! Nothing is more fun then watching how the major networks calculate the vote percentages!! Saying that for example Obama has 50% of the vote and McCain has 49% with 11% of the total vote in, is actually saying that Obama has 5.50% and McCain has 5.49% (or something like that). And then if that wasn’t enough, the major networks can’t agree even closely on the “actual” and by that I mean not actual percentages of the total vote distribution. Lets be honest, I mean we all know where we THINK the election is heading, so why don’t we just watch real TV and then let the news bug us when the numbers are actually in and real.
Oh did you see the vein of Red running through the middle of the country- from the Dakota’s to Texas? I don’t know if that’s how it always is, but I think that’s just interesting
On a personal note, as I live in Indiana, I seriously don’t understand what is taking us so long to get our votes reported. I mean when I voted today, I had to wait for 20 minutes while three people had to realize they skipped the page in the voting machine manual that said plug the unit it, but… well, I was gonna say we can’t all be that incompetent in Indiana…. yeah I’m not so sure about that anymore. I think Northwestern Indiana is the only sane part of the state, have you seen all that red? Even though it seems Indiana went Obama, if we’re wealthy enough to even think McCain here, where was I when this happened? Or is it just NW Indiana – is there some kind of secret to living in like BFE country Indiana – do they just hand you a bushel basket full of cash when you move in?
Seriously though, there is very little that might be more important then voting. Either way this election goes – the turn out has just been amazing. I think today, tonight we are seeing without question, that one of the most important elements of our country, that the founding fathers invisioned, is alive and well.
PS – I think it should be obvious by now the area in which I live and how I voted, and if you disagree with me, I really don’t care. These are just my thoughts.
